A color day photo showing the actual dogs belonging to one of my kids. Both are rescues, the one on the right is a foster fail, contrary to her facial expression she is not perpetually worried but a very happy doggo.
A water color painting of the two previous dogs. Please bear in mind I have never painted dogs before and likely never will again.
A water color painting of my other kiddos doggos. They are actually both Australian cattle dogs, I realize the one on the right looks like it's missing several chromosomes.
The actual dogs that I was painting, they are fantastic doggos.
I am not an artist, don't let these paintings fool you.
For family birthdays we all paint together (2 in fam are actual artists) like the paint with a twist places, we have varying results but oh, so much fun.
I decided to paint my kids dogs for their birthday cards this year...
You're welcome.

Huge investments in renewable energy have made Spain more independent from fossil fuel imports, and less vulnerable to the surging prices following the US and Israeli attacks on Iran
An end to fossil fuels is better for the climate and people's bills – and takes power away from tyrants

How the Alps lost its bone-breaker vultures - then got them back.
Few things are as uplifting as the return of wild nature.

The image shows a beaver sitting upright in a patch of lush, tall green grass. The beaver’s fur appears wet and shaggy, with darker brown tones on the back and lighter brown fur on the face. The beaver is positioned facing the camera and is holding its small front paws close to its chest. Its large, slightly orange-tinted front teeth are visible. A fallen tree branch extends diagonally behind the beaver, and the background is filled with dense green vegetation, including grass blades, leaves, and stems.
This Saturday (14 March) we’re sharing our love for beavers with the people of Birmingham via a large screen in Victoria Square. Join us between 10am and 4pm to watch incredible footage of these industrious rodents and learn why they are so important for healthy ecosystems.

Fanny Bullock Workman (1859-1925) was a geographer and cartographer, a women's rights actvist and mountaineer. She was one of the very first women to climb the Himalayan mountains, and together with her husband, she cycled through Spain, Syria and Turkey for ten years. #CelebratingWomen
I’m about halfway through creating this triptych of King Arthur’s Chough. Building up layers of tiny plants on the cliff edge for its toes to sink into. Two layers of extra thick 23 carat gold leaf. Repainting and restoring the details of the original panel. A labour of love. My favourite bird.
Our February yarn club bird was the Eurasian wren, a tiny round fella with a cheeky cocked tail. Wrens are very active, constantly hunting insects, and their loud complex song is a speedy cascade of trills and whistles. #yarn #knitting #crochet #mothyandthesquid mothyandthesquid.com

Literally not one mention of cycling looool.
Even on the bit where it's like - "if you commute by train, see if you can get a season ticket for the car park".
Idk why not try cycling to the station for free?! www.theguardian.com/money/2026/m...

As developed western economies increased the share of workers with academic qualifications, the earnings premium for a degree continued to move upwards. The sole exception here is the UK where over the last 25 years university degrees saw their pay premium shrink.

Actual Time taken on the bike
Just been to apply for my French passport and ID card at a town 6km away.
Google said 12min in the car, 22mins on the bike. Took me 13 mins on the bike (not an e-bike but average speed wouldn’t be much slower on an e-bike)
€2 saved in an oil price crisis, and 26mins of exercise done

Europe's landscapes over the past 20 million years have predominantly been a mosaic: a mixture of grasslands, scrub and woodlands. A light-filled, flower-rich open woodland shaped by grazing animals as a decisive ecological force—not a dark closed-canopy forest. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
